I'm new to silkies and have 4 eight week old straight runs. I know 8 weeks is very early to tell gender for silkies from what I'm reading from everyone. From what my fellow BYC'ers have said is to look for big round poof heads as an initial indication of gender. Well, I've 3 with fluffy, round, poofy heads and one that looks like i put gel in its hair and gave it a spikey Mohawk. Here's 2 proofy head pics and 2 spikey head pics. Thoughts?
